I cant place that fellow... I havent hung around there much the las 30 years or so.. It just got to be a dog traders alley, full of BS and problems and to tell the truth I really dont like those things or many of those people.. Some of the old timers were great, but that was a different day in time...
I tell ya about those open trail dogs in my opinion.... Our cur dogs are silent and I basically like that about them, but once in a while one will come along that will open just a little bit on a hog that breaks or if he can see him while running him. But, I dont mind a dog or hound that opens if he can sure smoke a track and get something done.. If he can't, I litterly hate a open mouth dog draggin his butt on a track or straddling a track.
I think if you had 2 dogs to totally equal ability, one silent and one open, the silent dog will probably catch more hogs. But if you have a open dog that can and will smoke a track, I dont mind hunting with em. Now days, after the first bay everything in the woods knows ya there anyway and most of em in t his country sure try to run.
